Describe what the typical elementary school age child can and cannot do with respect to logical thinking and storing information in memory
What will be an ideal response?
The typical elementary grade student is in Piaget's concrete operational stage and so can understand and carry out tasks that are based on such forms of logic as class inclusion, seriation, conservation, and symbolic representation. But their ability to think logically is limited to tasks that involve or refer to real, tangible objects and ideas. They cannot, for example, understand the hidden meaning behind such abstract language forms as sarcasm, metaphor, or allegory. Elementary grade students have excellent recognition memory and short-term memory. But their ability to employ such advanced memory skills as elaboration and organization is limited. When asked to sort pictures into categories, for example, they create fewer and more idiosyncratic categories than do older children.
